MUST-HAVE HALLOWEEN THEMED CAKE SUPPLIES

Before we start to make our Halloween themed cakes it’s a good idea to gather the necessary supplies. This is our list of must-have items for baking delicious cakes.

  • Cake Pans – My favorite is the USA Pan cake pans. These pans are made in the USA and use silicone in place of Teflon. They are easy to clean and they have different sizes so you can find the right one for your Halloween cake.
  • Halloween Sprinkles– Having a nice selection of Halloween sprinkles on hand is a must! It’s the easiest way to decorate your Halloween cakes.
  • Parchment Baking Paper– Parchment paper can help make getting cakes out of pans easy.

Once you have these basic supplies you are ready to pick your Halloween cake recipe and gather your ingredients. 

You can skip the store by using Instacart to deliver your ingredients straight to you. I use Instacart for almost all of my grocery shopping these days and it saves me so much time. And if you haven’t tried Instacart yet you can get free delivery on your first 3 orders!
